Research Interest

My research is in commutative algebra, especially on homological properties of ideals and modules. I got my Ph. D. from Kansas, under the direction of Craig Huneke. In my dissertation, `Homological Invariants of Monomial and Binomial Ideals', I studied numerical invariants of free resolutions.
